St George's chapel is a must-see for any fan of the royal weddings!

My husband and I are huge fans of all things royal, especially the royal weddings. We rewatched the ceremony of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prior to arriving in London, and this tour was the highlight of our day trip. When we entered St George's Chapel, it was like magic. I can honestly say I've never set foot in a more beautiful church. The most beautiful part of St George's Chapel is the Quire; it looks like something out of a fairytale. A visit to St George's Chapel is a must-see for any fan of the royal weddings! The rest of Windsor Castle is also magnificent, and we both enjoyed the time we had to explore it.

Great tour of Windsor Castle

Booking this tour was a smart move! The bus drove us and took us back to London, and we've had enough free time to explore almost the entire royal Windsor Castle. Our six-year-old daughter went totally berserk when we entered the Queen Mary's doll house, and I knew that we would spend at least an hour there. It truly is amazing, but I was kind of relieved when we continued touring Windsor Castle. By the end of the tour, every member of our family found their favorite place. Mine were the State Apartments, which hold the most incredible collection of weaponry and ceremonial armor. In my opinion, this tour is perfect for a family visit.

DESCRIPTION

Windsor Castle Half Day Tour from London with Ticket

ENTERING THE WINDSOR CASTLE

At the entrance to Windsor Castle, the first thing you'll notice is the sheer size of this fortification complex. Perched just above the River Thames, its strategic location was chosen by William the Conqueror almost a thousand years ago. Ever since then it has remained the home of kings and queens, currently occupied by King Charles III. Start your tour at the visitor's entrance. Pick up the multimedia headset that will provide a wealth of information as you tour the royal Windsor Castle. At multiple points you will see the royal guards standing in front of their guardhouses. You may take pictures or snap a selfie; however, make sure to be respectful and keep your distance, as they might scold you.

THE QUEEN'S GARDENS AND THE STATE APARTMENTS

Before you head to the State Apartments, use this opportunity and visit the Queen's Gardens. These splendid courtyard gardens were named in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth II for her golden jubilee in 2002. As you enter the State Apartments through the Grand Vestibule, you'll notice a huge collection of armor and old weapons. These once belonged to kings and famous medieval knights. After that, visit The Garter Throne Room, the Crimson Drawing Room, and the Waterloo Chamber. At each of the stops, learn about the history and significance from your audio headset.

ST GEORGE'S CHAPEL – THE PLACE FOR ROYAL WEDDINGS

Next, head out to St George's Chapel, where many famous royal weddings took place. The last such occasion was the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! As you enjoy your visit to this Gothic-style chapel, turn your sight above and notice the amazingly detailed ceiling of St George's Chapel. Built in the 14th century by King Edward III as the ceremonious chapel of the highest order of chivalry in England, the legendary Order of the Garter. Listen to the helpful audio guide to learn more.

QUEEN MARY'S DOLLHOUSE – A MINIATURE MASTERPIECE

After admiring the iconic St George's Chapel, you may choose to visit Queen Mary's dollhouse next. This extraordinary miniature masterpiece is kept in a controlled environment, at the ideal level of humidity and temperature. Did you know that it was actually a gift for Queen Mary? Enjoy seeing the small rooms with incredible tiny details, such as the wardrobes, chairs, tables, and even books and paintings. Everything is scaled in the right proportions, and a staggering 1,500 craftsmen and artists spent three years creating it.

What to see in the town of Windsor?

Situated on the River Thames is the beautiful town of Windsor. Use the free time before heading back to London to stroll through its historic center. Start with Market Street with numerous posh shops and some incredibly old pubs. For example, the building now known as Prince Harry's Pub was constructed in 1518 and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the town of Windsor. Later, visit the Statue of Queen Victoria and the Windsor Royal Station. Although much has changed in past centuries, the beautiful town of Windsor still has managed to keep the picturesque charm of a medieval town.
